Carrickfergus Castle is a Norman castle
in Northern Ireland, situated in the town of Carrickfergus in County
Antrim, on the northern shore of Belfast Lough. It's a striking feature of the landscape
from land, sea and air. Carrickfergus Castle greets all visitors with
its strength and menace. It represents over 800 years of military
might. Besieged in turn by the Scots, Irish, English and French, the
Castle saw action right up to World War II. Today it is maintained by
the Northern Ireland Environment Agency and can be enjoyed by
visitors wanting to learn more about its history or just looking for
a fun day out in a unique setting.
